I have sailed an I20 for a year (previously a P19), and I often singlehand it. You can sail the boat w/o any problem solo or with a non-sailor. This Saturday, I took out a friend from work for 2 hours in nice 12 kt winds, and we had a blast. He was a total non-sailor (I'm trying to convert him). I had him steer for a 1/2 hour on reaches while I ran the sails and he loved it. Later, I took over steering and mainsail trim, giving him the jib. On a long downwind run home, I ran both the main and the spinnaker.<br><br>The I17R is very similar to the I20 in design and handling. It's very easy to use the spinnaker with the snuffer system, even solo. <br><br>Give it a try and you'll be sold on it.<br><br>Sail fast and have fun,<br>Alan Thompson<br>I20 - San Diego<br><br>
